Augusto,

The function requires two parameters. I've never tried to in an ON SHUTDOWN routine. But the proper call would be:

lnresult = ExitWindowsEx(EWX_SHUTDOWN, 0)

Try that.

BTW, I don't hate definitions. In fact, I love them. My signature is based on this premise: Since computers are based on the recursive definition of the state of a single bit (its state being defined as either set or cleared), if a computer science student hated definitions, then he/she would probably hate computers as well. It's hard to do well at something you hate. :-)
